Comment
Coin struck by the RAM but issued by Australia Post as change into circulation from 3500 Post Offices Australia wide. The coins are featuring 26 classic Aussie icons from letters of the Alphabet from A to Z.This coin is the Letter "G" for "G'day". Some of our unique vocabulary might be misunderstood abroad, but be it day or night, "G'day mate" is an iconic warm Aussie greeting known around the world. We claim it as our own, but the friendly term "G'day" is shared between us and New Zealand.
A press in album for the 26 coins was available for $9 or you can buy the full set of 26 coins in a special tube including the album for $49.
